Push past / pass-by shot

How to prompt a push past / pass-by shot in AI video

Push past / pass-by shot start frame

To prompt a push past shot in AI video, describe your scene first, then add the camera line as its own sentence: "push past. Movement: move forward past a visible foreground object, edge or opening." Finish it with the speed, what stays fixed and how the shot ends, as in the full recipe below.

Glide forward past a foreground object into the space beyond.

Best for: Layered depth — using a foreground wipe to reveal a new plane.

The recipe

push past. Movement: move forward past a visible foreground object, edge or opening. Speed: smooth forward glide. Framing: let the foreground pass close to the lens while the space beyond becomes clearer. End: arrive inside or beyond the foreground layer.

How to prompt a push past / pass-by shot in AI video

  1. 01

    Describe the shot

    Write one or two sentences for the subject, setting and light before any camera language.

  2. 02

    Add the push past / pass-by shot recipe

    Append the recipe as its own sentence: "Camera: push past. Movement: move forward past a visible foreground object, edge or opening. Speed: smooth forward glide. Framing: let the foreground pass close to the lens while the space beyond becomes clearer. End: arrive inside or beyond the foreground layer."

  3. 03

    Keep one move per shot

    Remove any other camera instructions so the model commits to a single, readable move.

  4. 04

    Generate and review the ending

    Check the final frame matches the End line. If the move drifts, shorten the clip or restate what must stay fixed.

One move is one shot. To carry it into the next shot, pin where each clip starts and ends with first-frame / last-frame and chain the shots into a short film with one cast in every shot. Still picking software? Here is what to look for in a short-film tool.

“A lighthouse on a rocky coast at golden hour, waves breaking softly below, warm light on the stone. Camera: push past. Movement: move forward past a visible foreground object, edge or opening. Speed: smooth forward glide. Framing: let the foreground pass close to the lens while the space beyond becomes clearer. End: arrive inside or beyond the foreground layer.”
